Lac La Biche – The Plamondon Mustangs and Lac La Biche Dodgers U18 girls’ softball teams kicked off their 2025 season on May 7 with a close game which the Mustangs won 18-16 over four innings.
The evening contest played out in front of a decent-sized crowd on ball diamond three next to the Bold Centre. The Lac La Biche County-based softball teams, both of whom belong to the Lakeland Minor Ball League, faced off against each other at 6:30 p.m.
While the Mustangs were able to maintain a wide lead throughout much of the game, by the third inning, the home field Dodgers began to gain more ground, increasing their points on the scoreboard and narrowing that lead.
The Dodgers continued to push back throughout the fourth and final inning of the game. However, it wasn’t enough to prevent the visiting Mustangs from maintaining a two-point lead, and leaving as the victors of the contest.
